Things the high court said today:
Pell& #39;s trial and appeal weren& #39;t just

Things they DIDN& #39;T say:
Pell is innocent
The jury stuffed up
The accuser lied

These things matter, people. The high court is probably the most pedantic and careful body in this country.
#PellAcquittal

Pell is innocent:

He& #39;s deemed innocent again, by the natural presumption of innocence that applies to every Australian, unless they have been convicted of a crime, in a fair trial.

The HC did NOT declare him innocent today, they ruled he didn& #39;t receive a fair trial or appeal.

The jury stuffed up:

The HC did NOT declare this. The verdict was reasonable, given the evidence presented, and the jury directions given.

However the evidence & directions given conflicted with proper justice. There is no implied rebuke of the jury. None.

Judges, diff story.

The accuser lied:

A "not guilty" verdict is never a judgement the accuser lied.

Court cases judge the guilt or otherwise of the accused. "Not guilty" = "case not proven"

Proving innocence is often impossible, which is why the burden to prove guilt belongs to the state.
